If the transfer goes through, Fernandes will become the third player to join Manchester United this transfer season after the arrivals of Daniel James from Swansea and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace.

Bruno Fernandes came into the radar of top European clubs after hitting 31 goals for Sporting last season. The attacking midfielder help his side finish third in the Primeira Liga table. He was also part of Portugal’s successful Nations League campaign.

Solskjaer will hope that Bruno Fernandes will continue his rich vein of form in the English Premier League and will do so in the Manchester’s red jersey.
